FC5 beta 1 installed a kernel on my laptop that does not boot. While
this is a beta and all bets are off, it's perfectly possible that the
same thing could happen in released versions of Fedora Core.
The installer routine of kernel RPMs always inserts new kernels at
position 0 into grub.conf. It won't change the number of the default
kernel, though. I always have my current kernel in a position other than
0. That way, I'm never booting a new kernel by default. I try a new
kernel when I have time to deal with issues and then make it the
default.
